Nothing Known at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ga. June 9.-The rumor that a
ilibustering expedition is fitting out at Savan-
nah against Honduras or Cuba, so far as known
here is wholly without foundation. 1t seems to
have started from the Spanish consul who was
recently stationed here and who notified the
collector of the port that he had reason to be-
lieve that hostile expedition was fitting out
somewhere on the Georgia coast, and intimated
that it was for the purpose of destroying sugar
plantations in Cuba, cane at
this season being in condition to burn
readily The customs officials have received no
instructions from the department. and pface no
credence in the rumor. The Spanish consul
stated in his letter to the collector of the port
that Information of the expedition came from
Cuba To Associated Press reporter ne de-
MED any knowledge Of the expedition.

The Britannio-Celtio Confusion.

NEW YORK. May 9.-The decision of the ma

was given to-day In the matter of the inquiry
into the of the collision of the steamships
Celtic and Britannia. The court very severely
censured Captain Perry, of the Britannia, for
tinctive whistles to the Celtic to show which way
she gave way, and for not sounding his fog whis-
tie in the fog. Captain Irving. of the Celtic, is
simply censured for running at the rate of speed
he did in such foggy weather. The finding of
the court and the evidence given before the
court will be forwarded by Consul Hoare, under
SEAL to the London Board of Trade in few
days. All action by the consul here ceases.
The court recommends that more distinctive
signals be adopted to prevent collisions at sea-

BLOOMFIELD, June 9-On last Tuesday,
while digging grave for Madison Martindale
at the Flynn graveyard, one and q half mile
west of Hobbeville, about sixteen miles from
here, a grave was struck after going down only
fifteen inches. There was no coffin, being only
a board above and below. Eighteen twenty
years ago Charles Jordan mysteriously disap-
peared from that neighborhood, and was sup
posed to have been murdered. The skeleton
found indicates person about the size Of Jor-
dan. A report has just reached here that Will
lam Hardesty confessed his death-bed, in
Texas, a few weeks ago. that he, John Mays
and - Jones killed Charles Jordan in Center
township, about twenty years ago. These
parties were suspected at the time. but sufficient
evidence to convict could not be had. They
buried the corpse in the Flynn graveyard over
another newly made grave, digging down only
a short distance and the body was never found
until dug into this week They got about two
hundred and fifty dollars from the murdered
man. A strange feature of the is that on
Friday night Martindale dreamed his grave was
dug in the wrong place, and a new one had to be
